Durlston Point
Edit SpotAbout
When it's on it rivals any point break in England but is so rare(due to it's location)that not many people have sampled it at it's best. If Eddie the Fish says it's good you know it is!
Atmosphere:
Very earrie place to surf with imposing cliffs towering above(Acts as a massive natural wind break)Take off is intense and then huge rights just wall up
Additional Info:
Very rare if bournemouth is overhead this place works if bournemouth is MASSIVE and blown out Check this place
